Loose Women in heated debate over parents kicking adult children out of the house

The Loose Women panel were left very split earlier today after a debate on adult children living with their parents got quite heated.

Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha, Stacey Solomon and Jane Moore debated the recent case of a 30-year-old man who was ordered by a New York judge to leave his parents' home.

'It's very difficult, can you imagine being in that situation?' Nadia mused. 'There's so many different loops to this. If my child was being a lazy [so and so]... and basically sponging, then no.

'But I live in London, London is unbelievably expensive– it's impossible to get on the property ladder. If my child is in some sort of need then I'm her mother and she would come to her family and her family would help her. It depends whether they are in dire straits.'

Stacey similarly thought it was 'circumstantial', though admitted there were 'certain circumstances when you do need to be there for your children'.

'You need to look at sensitive sides of these cases,' she added.

However, Jane was on the complete opposite side, saying: 'It's really awful they took him to court, because they could have just changed the locks.

'He's 30, he's not doing anything, they were looking for jobs...' she added, arguing that the parents 'infantilised him'.

'I grew up on a council estate, I didn't have a leg up,' Jane continued, though Stacey suggested 'even that is inaccessible to some people'.

The panel clashed over the difficulty of getting on the property ladder in London and young people paying rent in London, with Stacey noting the hardships young people face.
